‘We’re standing in front of one of the most exciting discoveries to have been made in maybe the last 10 years in the field of American decorative arts,’ says specialist John Hays, who instantly recognised the ‘Hadley’ chest when it was presented to him, unidentified, in a photograph.
‘It was one of those moments when you say, “Wow, where did you get that?”’ says Hays. Intricately decorated, the chest is unexpectedly contemporary in design. ‘It tells you that the cabinetmakers in 1715 were far more innovative than we ever thought before,’ says Hays. ‘The whole idea of modernity has to be rethought.’
In this video, Hays describes how the lost work was rediscovered on the West Coast of America, having long been sought by furniture conservators. ‘This is the Rosetta stone for a small group of pieces that survive from the 18th century,’ he says. ‘It really is an artistic masterpiece’.

BostonQueen Anne dressing table made from cherry wood. A transitional piece with typical William and Mary period construction and design, incorporating the new Queen Anne legs and carved fan. Drawer pulls have been replaced later in the 18th century, top replaced in the early 19th century and entire case has been refinished mid 20th century. Original dressing tables from this period are worth in excess of 20K. This table, with replaced top, brasses and finish, is worth a fraction of that figure. These tables were created with a matching highboy and used in the bedrooms of many wealthy 18th century colonists.

18th century

The 18th century lasted from January 1, 1701 to December 31, 1800 in the Gregorian calendar. During the 18th century, the Enlightenment culminated in the French and American revolutions. Philosophy and science increased in prominence. Philosophers dreamed of a brighter age. This dream turned into a reality with the French Revolution, although it was later compromised by the excesses of the Reign of Terror of Maximilien Robespierre. At first, the monarchies of Europe embraced Enlightenment ideals, but with the French Revolution they feared losing their power and formed broad coalitions for the counter-revolution. The Ottoman Empire underwent a protracted decline, as it failed to keep up with the technological advances in Europe. The Tulip period symbolized a period of peace and reorientation towards European society, after victory against a burgeoning Russian Empire in the Pruth River Campaign. Throughout the century various reforms were introduced with limited success.

The 18th century also marked the end of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth as an independent state. The once-powerful and vast kingdom, which was able to conquer Moscow and defeat the great Ottoman armies, collapsed under numerous invasions. Its semi-democratic government system was not robust enough to rival the neighboring monarchies of the Kingdom of Prussia, the Russian Empire and the Archduchy of Austria which divided the Commonwealth territories among them, changing the landscape of Central European politics for the next hundred years.

18 (number)

In speech, the numbers 18 and 80 are sometimes confused. When carefully enunciated, they differ in which syllable is stressed: 18 /eɪtˈtiːn/ vs 80 /ˈeɪti/. However, in dates such as 1864, or when contrasting numbers in the teens, such as 17, 18, 19, the stress shifts to the first syllable: 18 /ˈeɪttiːn/. In some dialects, such as General American, there is little confusion because the single t sound in 80 becomes a d-like flap[ɾ], whereas the double t sound in 18 does not.

Anne was born in the reign of her uncle Charles II, who had no legitimate children. Her father, James, was first in line to the throne. His suspected Roman Catholicism was unpopular in England, and on Charles's instructions Anne was raised as an Anglican. Three years after he succeeded Charles, James was deposed in the "Glorious Revolution" of 1688. Anne's Dutch Protestant brother-in-law and cousin William III became joint monarch with his wife, Anne's elder sister Mary II. Although the sisters had been close, disagreements over Anne's finances, status and choice of acquaintances arose shortly after Mary's accession and they became estranged. William and Mary had no children. After Mary's death in 1694, William continued as sole monarch until he was succeeded by Anne upon his death in 1702.

A Long-Lost 18th Century Chest | Discovery

‘We’re standing in front of one of the most exciting discoveries to have been made in maybe the last 10 years in the field of American decorative arts,’ says specialist John Hays, who instantly recognised the ‘Hadley’ chest when it was presented to him, unidentified, in a photograph.
‘It was one of those moments when you say, “Wow, where did you get that?”’ says Hays. Intricately decorated, the chest is unexpectedly contemporary in design. ‘It tells you that the cabinetmakers in 1715 were far more innovative than we ever thought before,’ says Hays. ‘The whole idea of modernity has to be rethought.’
In this video, Hays describes how the lost work was rediscovered on the West Coast of America, having long been sought by furniture conservators. ‘This is the Rosetta stone for a small group of pieces that survive from the 18th century,’ he says. ‘It really is an artistic masterpiece’.

Antique Furniture Queen Anne Lowboy Circa 1730.

BostonQueen Anne dressing table made from cherry wood. A transitional piece with typical William and Mary period construction and design, incorporating the new Queen Anne legs and carved fan. Drawer pulls have been replaced later in the 18th century, top replaced in the early 19th century and entire case has been refinished mid 20th century. Original dressing tables from this period are worth in excess of 20K. This table, with replaced top, brasses and finish, is worth a fraction of that figure. These tables were created with a matching highboy and used in the bedrooms of many wealthy 18th century colonists.
